...how come everybody else here finds something to say about movies, while you - for who knows how long - have produced nothing but kindergarten level personal insults.If all you can do is sit in the corner, bitter at the whole world that someone did not like the toy you brought to the playground, sulking and spitting out stupid pre-adolescent insults, then be it, fine with us. That however does not present you as an opponent worth acknowledging or responding to.
A fool is as fool does.
... "The question you should be asking yourself... is... how come everybody else here finds something to say about movies, while you - for who knows how long - have produced nothing but kindergarten level personal insults." < < <Calling a film or series of films $#!+ isn't exactlly an intelligent examination of cinematic merit, especially when the scatological comments are curtly expressed and aren't even followed up with a cursory critique. If that's what you use this forum for, then fine, but at least be honest about it. You're not fooling anyone about who's dishing out "kindergaten level" insults when you allign yourself with folks who treat certain films in such a dismissive manner that it impunes the tastes of those who like them.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinions, no matter how off target your invective obviously is, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over the inaccuracy of your personal criticism unless Donald Rumsfeld decides to use your mind as a blueprint for missile guidence. Dude, now THAT is a scary thought! ;^)
BTW, I've been down the route of acknowledging and responding to you in a sincere and open discussion, and while you & patrick possess impressive egos, I've seen little in the way of constructive film critique. The reasons the discussions usually devolve into something disrespectful is the confrontational attitude you "Romper Room" Ropers & Eberts espouse (...sorry, I forgot, you're more in tune with Larry the Cable Guy, aren't you?).

Thanks for the words of wisdom, Forrest! Maybe you should share them with your "sole" mate since you popped over at his request from the great Outside just to stick your own clod-hoppers into the fray. I'll give you credit for the brazen defense of his sophomoric scatological comments (as a substitute for film criticism) by trying to divert attention to my responses, but it's still a lame effort on your part.
On a more positive socks-half-full-as-opposed-to-half-empty note, you should have no difficulty with the delicate surgical removal of his foot from his mouth regardless of his shoe size (you've had plenty of experience refining this surgical proceedure through extricating your own foot on numerous occasions, have you not?). :o)

It is perfectly normal to use words like shit, crap, trash, etc in a conversational discussion of films, just like words like marvel, gem, hight of artistic achievement - there is really no difference. What is NOT normal is your immature inability to handle the rejection, and no matter how you try to cover it, it all has to do with people's strong dislike of a film you considered... well, a marvel (well, and that would not be "exactlly an intelligent examination of cinematic merit" either). Ever since then you have been on the vendetta path, stalking people here. Most people learn to handle such rejections and move onto things that matter to them.Also, writing things like "$#!+" in place of words you find offensive is a sign of a philistine, and something we expect the giggly thirteen year old girls do, but we expect them to stop by the age of sixteen. If you see a word as fit, use it. If, OTOH, you consider it inapropriate, then do not use it, and do not resort to all those S**t's, f@@k's and shoots.
All in all, Patrick has written more about more films than you will probably ever see in your life, and a good advice for you would be to move onto movies and their discussions, rather than keep ratheching up the already astronomical level of stupididy in your film-unrelated posts. Your endless personall attacks do not contribute to anything productive here.

Rejection? Hmmm, ...are you sure that your aren't transposing your own fears, negativism and unpleasant experiences onto others? Food for thought. As for maturity, your's appears limited to age rather than emotional development.

Excuse me for a moment while I clean up the spewed coffee! ... What can one say about an over-the-top assertion like the one you've just proffered? This is pure baloney and you know it. The only "stalking" going on around here can be found along the twisted "vendetta path" trailing from your own snobbery! When you and patrick are bored you two Ebert/Roper wannabes stealthily attack certain films over and over again just to get a reaction.
Apparently you guys only see it as a "win" if everyone agrees with your warped grey poupon perspective. So you keep carpet-bombing insults at the films you both "love to hate" with a smirk and a strut in the hope that film mavens will either come over to the "dork side of your farce" or give up and move on having been low-brow beaten into submission.

That's an oddly ironic statement, because you sure don't practice what you preach.

Interesting use of the word "we" in your diagnosis, Hippocrates. Your comment makes about as much sense as my saying that you're apparently infatuated with thirteen year old girls, but let's not go there, patrick might get jealous. ;^)
> > > "All in all, Patrick has written more about more films than you will probably ever see in your life..." < < <
A mime is a terrible thing to waste; too bad he chose not to be one! ;^)
> > > "...good advice for you would be to move onto movies and their discussions..." < < <
I'll take that under advisement, but as I provide at least as much insight on AMERICAN film as either of our two grey poupon specialists without any insulting Euro-trash snobbery I think it would behoove you to follow your own advice.
> > > "...endless personall attacks do not contribute to anything productive here." < < <
I would agree; perhaps you'll be the archetect of your own positive reconstruction and next time you won't build your house out of glass.
